What the gently caress is this show about? When it first came out I thought it was about like daredevil government agents or something.

It actually kind of is 1960's The Office with a little extra melodrama just to be sure.Pam becomes a salesmen much faster in this one though.

The Wire WAS for white people.

Mad Men is just further proof that everything old is poo poo.

Hello, you!
Lipstick Apathy
it's a way for liberals to escape the labored, enforced sensitivity of their ordinary lives and indulge in the simplicity of a time when men were men, women were women, and everybody drank and smoked all the drat time. none of this sexual harassment crap, just tell the secretary she's got a nice rear end, 'cause you're a man and she's a woman and that's just what goes on, fer crisakes. and it's all so aestheticized that they can safely tell themselves they're watching something highbrow instead of, y'know, enjoying the boorishness of the characters

Chicks like it because most of the sexual harassment comes from good looking guys.

People seem to really like Peggy but I think she's annoying as gently caress and hard on the eyes and ears, plus the actress is an actual Scientologist in 2015

Show is pretty good, though. The characters just fall apart through the seasons, in one way or another.

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man.
i like it :shrug: the characters are fun and the story can be pretty engaging and the show itself is very nice to look at (great detail, colors, makes great use of the time period and setting, etc.) which is cool, it's not super compelling stuff but it's still great tv
